FLEXIBLE SOLUTION
HBM
MEASURING LARGE COMPRESSIVE
FORCES ECONOMICALLY: NEW C6B
FORCE TRANSDUCER FROM HBM
• For maximum capacities from 200 kN to 10 MN
• Degree of protection IP68
• Flexible and economical compression bar, the sensor has a very short
displacement, enabling it to be used in very
fast measurements such as impact tests.
With the new C6B force transducer, HBM
offers a flexible solution for economical
acquisition of large compressive forces. The
sensor is cost-effective and specially designed
for rugged and dynamic applications. EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE TO USE
The C6B force transducer acquires nominal
(rated) forces from 200 kN to 10 MN with
an HBM accuracy class of 0.5. Typical
applications include the construction
industry, heavy industry and metalworking
as well as dynamic measurement tasks in
research and development. C6B is extremely
rugged and has a hermetically welded
housing made of rustproof materials. In the
version with integrated cable, the sensor
achieves degree of protection IP68. Since
the C6B is structured in the shape of a
110
PECM Issue 36
In comparison to the predecessor model
C6A, the new C6B force transducer is not
only more rugged, but also more flexible.
Users benefit from fast, easy start-up because
the sensor is optimally adapted to the
application. Different electrical connection
types are available for uncompensated
installation. The C6B is also available
with load applications, which reduce the
measurement uncertainty in the application.
The transducer versions up to and including
2 MN have an internal bore that allows
for the fold-back arm. Another advantage
during start-up: The C6B can be mounted
horizontally or upside down depending on
requirements.
